Nine Haiku & One Haibun - Poems by Joanna Ashwell

 






Nine Haiku & One Haibun - Poems


 

a redwing

returning again

snowberry dreams



assorted mittens

frozen to the line

snow inbound



yearly promises

January hail

pummelling the list



snowballing

another dream

an armlength away



sparkly journal

pretending I know

where to begin



out of the fog

first a door

then a forest



who knew

so many browns

autumn sky



so many puddles

even the dog

turns for home



rain semaphore

a porch light

the pumice of darkness



 

Soliloquy


There is just me whispering through the hours.  A dream half-resolved, the incompletion of time.  I am neither fully awake or in slumber.  Just diving in the liquidity of rainfall.  I imagine a sky of shifting clouds, a sunken moon with no beam.  There is no anchor between the shadows as I curl deeper in to the duvet.

 

all of the unknown

reshuffling the world

ravens in flight
